Experts say East Africa is experiencing heavy rains and floods that have driven families from their homes.
Residents in the town of Baladwayne in central Somalia said a river had overflowed, killing 10 people after a boat capsized while trying to rescue stranded residents.
A tropical storm is expected next week to aggravate the situation.
Rainfall is expected to continue until the end of the year, and aid organizations are warning of possible water-borne diseases and mass displacements.
